About the role
We are currently looking for a Senior Scientific Officer (MI3) within the Myeloid Cancer Biology Research group at the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute (University of Manchester). The aim of this post is to support the group’s research into myeloid malignancies (including AML and MDS) by contributing to the development and running of patient-relevant experimental models aligned with the lab’s genome‑editing and disease‑modelling strategy, and by progressing projects through rigorous data generation, troubleshooting and clear communication of findings. The group uses genome‑editing approaches across mouse platforms and primary patient samples/models to understand disease evolution and identify therapeutic vulnerabilities.
About you
You should have a BSc (or equivalent) in Biological/Biomedical Sciences (or related subject) or relevant laboratory experience, along with extensive practical research lab experience, including mammalian cell culture (ideally primary cells) and experience supporting murine in vivo models. A current or previous holder of a Personal Licence under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 (PIL A‑B) is essential. You will bring excellent record‑keeping and a rigorous approach to data integrity, strong problem‑solving and troubleshooting skills, and the ability to contribute to experimental design and interpretation as appropriate.
